The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. M3 models have been produced for every generation of 3 Series since the E30 M3 was introduced in 1986. The first M3 is undeniably the most legendary of all! This sporty version of the E30 has crossed the ages and generations without losing anything of its beauty and status. Star of the 80s and 90s, the M3 E30 is now a rarity, highly prized by collectors. It symbolizes everything that made BMW THE German sports brand of that time. Its look and its success in competition (DTM, Rally…) have made it an icon. The E30 M3 used the BMW S14 four-cylinder engine, a high-revving DOHC design with a head closely based on that of the BMW S38 six-cylinder engine and the block from the BMW M10 four-cylinder engine with a 7,250 rpm redline. In countries where the M3 was sold with a catalytic converter, the initial versions were rated at 143 kW (195 PS; 192 hp) and had a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph).[12] In countries where a catalytic converter was not fitted, the engine was rated at 147 kW (200 PS; 197 hp). In September 1989, European M3s were upgraded to the 158 kW (215 PS; 212 hp) (as introduced on the Ravaglia special edition model), increasing the top speed to 240 km/h (149 mph). Limited edition of 250 pieces and numbered separately. Very high quality model and top finished, including showcase. We send all packages with insurance and track and trace code.
